This update sets a new baseline for the developers for a longer perspective. Some of the features have already been available as online updates, but Qt SDK 1.2 now integrates the very latest tools, most recent mobile build targets for Symbian and Nokia N9, and the still fresh Qt 4.8 for desktops. Some improvements to the SDK and its maintenance tool have also been introduced. As a summary, this is what is new in the Qt SDK: Fixes for Qt Creator 2.4 in a new 2.4.1 patch update Qt 4.8 for desktops delivering Qt Quick 1.1, Qt platform abstraction, Qt WebKit 2.2, and threaded OpenGL More Qt Mobility examples for Nokia N9 and Symbian devices Ability to specify network proxy setting in the SDK Maintenance Tool Update to the Symbian Complementary Package introducing Analyze Tool plugin and new CODA 1.0.6 installation package An update to Notifications API improving the end user experience and fixing issues in the Nokia N9 implementation of the API. If you already have Qt SDK installed, you can update to the latest version by running Update Qt SDK from the Qt SDK application folder on your computer. If you first time are getting started with Qt SDK, you can download 1.2 from the download page. http://My-Symbian.com/main/index6.php?p=7926&c=6 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:35:26 +0100 Symbian ^1 & ^3 Microsoft Apps have been made available for Symbian Belle smartphones.

Featuring Qt Platform Abstraction, threaded OpenGL support, multithreaded HTTP and optimized file system access, Qt 4.8.0 can be downloaded as binary or source packages. Here are some key features that are new in Qt 4.8.0: Qt Platform Abstraction (QPA). QPA restructures the GUI stack to enable easier porting of Qt to different windowing systems and devices. More info. Threaded OpenGL support. Enables those of us that are not OpenGL-ninjas to render OpenGL from more than one thread concurrently. More info. Multithreaded HTTP. HTTP requests are now handled in a separate thread by default. This should make application guis smoother, as networking will no longer use the main event loop. Optimized file system access. The file system stack received some heavy lifting under the hood. The result is better I/O performance, achieved by reducing the number of system calls performed for I/O and by better use of cached data, when available. The improvements in performance can be seen across all platforms. Qt 4.8.0 ships with QtWebKit 2.2.1. More details of the major changes can be found in the Qt 4.8 beta blog post. Qt 4.8 Docs are now available on Qt DevNet. http://My-Symbian.com/main/index6.php?p=7830&c=6 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 03:06:05 +0100 Symbian ^1 & ^3 Qt Creator 2.4.0 has been released. Changes since 2.3.1 can be found in the changelog, and if you have a lot of time you can also check the commit log with around 1300 accepted commits. The standalone release can be downloaded from DevNet. http://My-Symbian.com/main/index6.php?p=7833&c=6 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 04:28:20 +0100 Symbian ^1 & ^3 Opera Mobile 11.5.1 update has been released and is available today for download from m.opera.com.

You now have better tools than even before as well as a large installed base of modern Symbian phones and the Nokia N9 to target with Qt apps. For Qt on Symbian, the release offers closer integration of Qt into the Symbian operating system services. Qt graphics system, split view keyboard, and support for Symbian Belle UI features are all included. In particular the improvements with regard to the Qt Quick Components 1.1 and Qt Quick 1.1 modules are significant – and will truly ease and speed up development. The Qt 4.7.4 release bundle for Symbian contains Qt Quick 1.1, Qt Mobility 1.2, Qt WebKit 2.1, and Qt Quick Components 1.1. With regard to the Nokia N9, the Qt SDK Harmattan target is now a full release and installed by default. Other visible changes are the evolution to a single unified sysroot (no tools-level distinction between Platform API and its more productised subset), a single target (with debug and release flavours of the build), and major up-dates to the documentation.

The Nokia 603 is designed to appeal to first time smartphone users and those upgrading from older products, particularly existing users of Nokia smartphones who will welcome a device that offers all the latest technology and features in a package that is still uniquely Nokia. This latest smartphone exemplifies Nokia's belief that affordability should not compromise the quality of the experience. The Nokia 603 offers a seamless, compact design that makes the most of the durable 3.5 inch ClearBlack, scratch-resistant display (nHD resolution, 640x360), optimized for use in sunlight. Exceeding expectations for its EUR 200 price-tag, the Nokia 603 comes preloaded with Maps, the latest social networking games and apps, and the ability to capture, edit and share photographs, all with great graphics performance thanks to the fast graphics processor in the device.

"Whatever the price-point, our aim is to ensure all Nokia smartphones are crafted for use, have Nokia's trusted quality, are better connected, and contain unexpected surprises like the ability to tap to pair and share with NFC."
